On October 27-29, the Armenian Lawyers’ Assembly, organized by the Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, was held in Yerevan. Over 250 Armenian lawyers from 31 countries participated in the Assembly sessions under the theme “Armenia and the World: Defending our rights abroad and at home”.
The Assembly focused on various topics, including the role of the Diaspora legal community in supporting legislative reforms in the Republic of Armenia, legal processes after the war, ensuring the safety of Armenians in the global Diaspora, legal issues related to protecting and supporting Armenian national interests, and the potential for creating a pan-Armenian network of Armenian lawyers.
Irene Victoria Massimino, an International Criminal and Human Rights Lawyer and former High Criminal Court Rapporteur, spoke at a panel discussion titled “The Nagorno-Karabakh issue and post-war legal processes.”
Irene Victoria Massimino: “Armenian lawyers from the Diaspora have great international expertise from what I’ve noticed and all of us have been working with international legal issues, so I think Armenians can benefit from that incredible expertise.”
